Install Billet Host on Windows

Before you start

• The machine meets the requirements for a host, and its GPU driver is installed.
• You have the installer, Billet-Host-<version>-windows-x64-setup.exe.
• You have a fresh enrollment token. See Register a desktop and create an enrollment token.
• You are signed in to Windows as an administrator.

Install

1. Run Billet-Host-<version>-windows-x64-setup.exe and approve the Windows prompt.
2. On Enrol this host with your portal, fill in:
   • Portal address: your portal, starting with https://, for example https://portal.example.com. No trailing path.
   • Enrolment token: the token from the console.
   • Address clients dial for direct connections: optional. Leave it empty unless you allow direct connections and people reach this machine at an address it cannot see for itself, such as a public address in front of NAT. See Direct and relayed connections.
3. Press Next, then Install.

Setup enrolls the machine first. If the portal refuses the token, Setup stops and shows the reason, and nothing is installed.

Check it worked

1. In the console, open Desktops. The desktop changes from Never checked in to Idle within a minute or so.
2. On the machine, open Services. Billet host agent and Billet stats agent are both Running and set to start Automatic.

If the desktop stays at Never checked in, see A host will not enroll or check in.

Next

Assign the desktop to the person who will use it.

Installing on many machines

Every page of the installer can be given on the command line instead:

Billet-Host-1.0.0-windows-x64-setup.exe /VERYSILENT /PORTAL=https://portal.example.com /TOKEN=<token>

Each machine needs its own token. See Install hosts without prompts.
